Chapter 144 Finally entering the main tomb chamber, is the First Emperor’s Mausoleum a fake?Is this the coffin of Zulong?Get ready to open the coffin!
what's the situation?
Sensing the shaking of the mountain, Zhang Tianlai suddenly became vigilant.
He took a step forward cautiously, and then shone the flashlight forward, trying to find out the source of the sound.
At this time, Zhuge Shou pulled the corner of his clothes.
Zhang Tianlai immediately followed his fingers and discovered that the vibrating sound came from the cliff in the distance.
And when he saw clearly what happened on the cliff, Zhang Tianlai's pupils shrank instantly.
rumbling~
At this moment, the amplitude of the vibrations was getting bigger and bigger, and the sound was like hundreds of war drums beating on the flat ground.
Along with the shaking sound, Zhang Tianlai could clearly see that the towering cliff in the distance was shaking greatly.
It looked as if it covered an area of dozens of meters and was about to collapse.
Boom!
At this moment, a huge crack suddenly opened on the cliff.
As the gravel rumbled to the ground, spider web-like cracks continued to spread from the cliff.
Then with a thunderous sound, the entire cliff cracked into a circular area covering an area of more than 40 meters.
Then it started to tilt down from the top and took a photo in the direction of the mountain pass where Zhang Tianlai and the others were.
For a moment, Zhang Tianlai felt that his scalp was going to explode.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Zhuge Shou and rushed towards the mountain pass.
"Run!"
The next moment, before anyone in the exploration bureau could react, the cliff covering the interior of the valley had crashed to the ground.
Those rocks weighed countless tons, and the large area of rocks hitting the ground caused the entire valley to shake.
Immediately after the gravel was flying, a powerful air wave mixed with gravel and smoke rushed directly into the mountain pass.
Zhang Tianlai and the two had just rushed out when they felt a strong force coming from behind.
Their bodies involuntarily flew forward two meters before falling to the ground.
At this moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau had witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes.
For a moment, everyone watching felt cold all over.
After waiting for more than ten seconds and regaining consciousness, the people in the Exploration Bureau exclaimed.
"This is too cruel! This is to bury people alive inside."
"Nonsense, how can we call it the Mausoleum of the First Emperor if we are not ruthless? This is the largest tomb in the world!"
"I'm going to be scared to death, are they okay, they scared me to death just now."
The people who reacted at this moment no longer cared to see what happened on the cliff.
They immediately searched for Zhang Tianlai and the others.
It was at this moment that a faint voice suddenly sounded from under the dust within ten meters of the mountain road.
Immediately afterwards, the gravels pressing on the soil gradually bulged up, and Zhang Tianlai and his two embarrassed figures climbed up from under the gravels.
The air wave just now was too strong, and the two of them were pushed away as soon as they jumped out.
But it was a blessing in disguise, neither of them were hit by the rock head-on.
It's just that the gravel that was shot in all directions hurts a little bit.
So Zhang Tianlai and the two first dusted off the dirt on their bodies, and then each checked their injuries.
After confirming that there were no serious wounds, he let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, not only the people in the Exploration Bureau were shocked, but Zhang Tianlai and the others could also intuitively feel the shock of the cliff collapse just now.
So Zhang Tianlai and Zhuge Shou struggled to help Shandao stand up.
Zhuge Shou swallowed and couldn't help but said, "The situation just now was too dangerous. I had expected that a stone gate might appear here."
"However, I never thought that the entire mountain range would collapse."
"Now it seems that we have underestimated the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. If we had been under the cliff just now, we might have been smashed into pulp."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianlai also nodded.
This is the entrance to the underground city of the First Emperor's Mausoleum. Were they excited because they were about to enter the deepest part?
Now it seems?
What's there to be excited about?
The more you get here, the more vigilant you should be.
Moreover, the underground mausoleum of the First Emperor's Mausoleum may be even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die without a complete body!
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "From now on, I think we must always be vigilant."
"You have to know that this is the deepest part of the First Emperor's Mausoleum. No matter how bold our estimate is, it is not an exaggeration."
"Moreover, the underground mausoleum may be more dangerous than the outside."
Speaking of this day, I took a few deep breaths to expel the discomfort in my lungs.
Then they walked out carefully, carefully avoiding the rocks under their feet.
At the same time, Zhang Tianlai noticed something was wrong with the gravel around him, so he gradually frowned.
He found that the further he walked, the larger the rocks were under his feet.
This proves that the situation of mountain fragmentation is not optimistic.
So Zhang Tianlai suppressed the shock in his heart and made full preparations.
When they arrived outside the mountain pass, the two used the light of a flashlight to look at the cliff in the distance.
But when they saw the situation on the other side clearly, even though they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but gasp in horror.
hiss!
Looking around, I could see that the cliffs in the distance, which were originally so high that they could not see the sky, had completely collapsed at some point.
As far as the eye can see, the cliff is full of intertwined cracks, and directly opposite the mountain pass, a huge cave with a height of more than ten meters and a width of seven or eight meters has been cracked on the cliff.
Stones with a diameter of several meters are scattered under the cave, which proves that these rocks were all cracked from the mountain.
Zhang Tianlai and the two never expected that the entrance to the so-called underground mausoleum city would be so spectacular.
After seeing this situation, both of their pupils were trembling.
After being stunned for five seconds, Zhang Tianlai asked cautiously: "Is this the entrance to the underground mausoleum city?"
Zhuge Shou also nodded in shock, then swallowed with fear and said: "To be honest, I have been mentally prepared, but I never expected that the entrance to the underground mausoleum city would be like this."
Meanwhile, it's not just them.
At this moment, everyone in the Exploration Bureau also saw the situation on the opposite mountain.
"This is earth-shattering!"
"Did Lishan Mountain collapse? They really escaped death this time!"
"To be honest, I was really scared. But this should be the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
"This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the largest tomb in the world!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter the tomb! This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
Seeing that the entrance to the tomb had been opened, everyone in the Exploration Bureau was shocked.
After the shock, what followed was the temptation to enter the main tomb.
But at this time, Zhang Tianlai did not open his eyebrows.
While he was excited, he was more worried about the danger in the underground mausoleum city.
So the two of them cautiously approached the direction of the cave. At the same time, Zhang Tianlai reminded Zhuge Shou anxiously: "We can't be impatient. Judging from the danger level at this entrance, it won't be very safe inside."
"More importantly, I don't know if you noticed that the mechanism lock we cracked just now is mixed with the knowledge of mechanism number and Feng Shui Qimen."
"And it takes learning to an extremely high level to create this kind of mechanism that connects to the cliff."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianlai glanced at the surrounding rock walls with lingering fear, and then said: "So I dare to conclude that among the people who helped the First Emperor Ying Zheng build the main tomb of Lishan, there must be no less Feng Shui than Zhuge Liang. Warlocks, and agency masters who are comparable to public losers.”
"And no one can be sure whether the tomb keeper has entered the underground mausoleum city."
"So from now on, we need to be extra cautious every step we take."
While talking, Zhang Tianlai used his flashlight to shine a light on the pattern around the cave entrance.
After confirming that there was no danger around, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go in."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianlai used a flashlight to illuminate the path ahead and carefully stepped into the cave entrance.
It wasn't until they saw Zhang Tianlai and the two walking in with their own eyes that the people from the Exploration Bureau recovered from their shock.
After a moment of excitement, everyone held their breath subconsciously, for fear of disturbing their minds.
At the same time, Zhang Tianlai and the others also carefully observed every change in their surroundings.
The structure at the entrance to the underground mausoleum city was somewhat beyond Zhang Tianlai's expectations.
Originally, he thought that because the underground mausoleum city was built inside the mountain, the size inside would be somewhat limited.
But the strange thing is that as they continue to move forward, the field of vision in front of them becomes wider and wider.
Although the surrounding situation is still unclear, judging from the openness of the field of vision, it is even wider than the valley outside.
This situation was not expected by Zhang Tianlai and the two of them, and since the current flashlight light could not illuminate the overall pattern, they did not dare to act rashly.
"The layout of the main tomb seems to be completely opposite to what we expected."
"The space here is bigger than the valley outside, so in the current situation where we can't see the surroundings clearly, we'd better stay where we are."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianlai stopped and waited patiently on the spot.
As time gradually passed, the two people's vision gradually adapted to the darkness around them.
So Zhang Tianlai began to look at the surrounding pattern with the help of a flashlight.
But it didn't matter if he looked at it, his eyes froze for an instant.
He saw that the layout of this underground mausoleum city was much broader than he imagined.
Looking with the light of the flashlight, as far as the eye can see, there is endless darkness.
Zhang Tianlai turned the flashlight as bright as possible, and then he could see some bright cliffs in the darkness.
A strong light flashlight can illuminate more than 50 meters at most, but the limit of light is hundreds of meters away.
With a little help, Zhang Tianlai instantly realized that the layout of this underground mausoleum was at least 500 meters away.
And more importantly, this is just the radius and not the diameter.
Calculated in this way, this underground mausoleum is at least the size of two football fields.
This was much larger than any tomb he had seen before.
hiss!
For a moment, Zhang Tianlai felt his heart twitching, and the sound of gasping for air suddenly sounded.
Then he looked up at the top of the tomb, and his heart was instantly grasped.
Because the pattern above was very high, Zhang Tianlai couldn't see any reflection even if he shined a flashlight on it.
Everything as far as the eye could see was pitch black.
But in the center of the tomb, there was a vague bulge of unclear size, which seemed to be a stone platform.
Gollum!
Suddenly, Zhang Tianlai couldn't help but swallowed.
This is not the layout of an underground mausoleum city. The vastness here alone is much larger than the overall size of some other ancient tombs.
Therefore, although Zhang Tianlai has not seen any funerary objects or buildings that can represent the underground mausoleum city.
But he was completely sure that this was the underground mausoleum city of Shi Huang's Mausoleum.
Only with such a huge layout can it be worthy of being the world's number one tomb.
Should it be said that it really deserves to be the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
At the same time, Zhuge Shou's face turned red and he said, "Is this the tomb of the First Emperor's mausoleum?"
"Are you sure we're going the right way?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhang Tianlai nodded seriously, he was very convinced.
So, he said with a serious face: "I have no doubt now that this is the deepest part of the Tomb of the First Emperor that we are looking for."
"Although I can't see what's around right now, I can already prove it with such a large space."
For a moment, after hearing his words, Zhuge Shou also looked extremely shocked.
At the same time, because the people in the Exploration Bureau have night vision capabilities, they can see more clearly than Zhang Tian.
This is also the first time.
These people entered the tomb through many hardships, but every time they came back defeated.
But it was not until this time that the people from the Exploration Bureau finally followed Zhang Tianlai and saw with their own eyes the internal structure of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
If nothing else, the huge space alone is enough to drive people crazy.
"This time we really entered the deepest part of the Tomb of the First Emperor!"
"I can't believe that they really came in! This is called a tomb. The number one tomb in the world is still the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
"This is called a tomb! Only with the night vision function can I vaguely see the outline of some cliffs!"
"Since this is an underground mausoleum city, hurry up and find the coffin!"
"Wait, do you think something is wrong? Why does this place look so empty?"
Compared to the joy of everyone in the Exploration Bureau, Zhang Tianlai and the others were very cautious.
Zhang Tianlai took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.
Now is not the time to be happy.
Because to be honest, before entering the main tomb, he had imagined that it might be very huge.
But the fact was beyond their expectations. Ying Zheng was so grand that he hollowed out the entire Lishan Mountain.
This is a whole mountain!
So Zhang Tianlai continued to walk forward, staring at his surroundings.
But the strange thing is that this underground mausoleum is too desolate.
There seemed to be nothing around except for the stone platform that looked down upon from a distance.
The only characteristic is that it is ridiculously big.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai felt a little weird.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you feel a little strange, why is there nothing in the deepest part of the Tomb of the First Emperor?"
"Anyway, there should be some funerary objects, or the coffin from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."
Hearing his inquiry, Zhuge Shou frowned, looked at the darkness around him and said: "Don't worry about the coffin, it's not the time yet. The problem now is that the layout of this tomb is too huge, and we are not sure yet. There’s everything here.”
"If we act rashly and trigger an unknown mechanism, we may not even have a chance to escape."
"So, before we start looking for funerary objects and coffins, we'd better take a look at the exact layout of this tomb."
"This will also help us in our next actions."
Hearing his words, Zhang Tianlai also nodded.
So, the two looked at each other.
Start looking up.
The current situation is that they must split up and figure out the layout of the entire tomb as soon as possible.
And you have to be careful of the mechanisms under your feet and don't get close to the cliff to avoid accidents.
While thinking about it, Zhang Tianlai turned around, shined a flashlight on his feet, and walked slowly toward the cliff on the right.
Zhuge Shou also used a flashlight to illuminate the front and headed towards the cliff on the left.
Then the two of them split up and began to observe the layout of the tomb along the cliff.
The underground mausoleum at the foot of Lishan Mountain is too huge, and it would probably take a lot of time to go through it completely.
Moreover, in this dark light, there is no telling what will happen if you get close to the cliff.
Therefore, neither Zhang Tianlai nor Zhang Tianlai got too close to the rock on the cliff. Instead, they walked to the outside more than 20 meters away and shined their flashlights on it.
At the same time, while observing the cliff and other locations, slowly follow the circular tombs toward the center.
But as they continued to check, Zhang Tianlai's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Because the further he walked, he suddenly found that the surrounding cliffs and the underside of the tombs became more and more empty.
After looking around, he found that the entire underground mausoleum city was empty.
Except for the surrounding cliffs and the towering top of the tomb, there are only huge rock blocks protruding from the cliffs nearly every 100 meters.
There are eight rock blocks in total, about three to four meters high, and they look like hills inside the tomb.
But other than that, there is nothing in the entire tomb.
Not to mention the burial objects, not even the coffin was seen.
Seeing this Tianlai's mind gradually sank.
After they reunited at the foot of the cliff, Zhang Tianlai hurriedly asked: "Did you find anything?"
Regarding this, Zhuge Shou also shook his head with an ugly expression. Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai knew that he obviously didn't find anything.
So, he couldn't help but said to the people in the Exploration Bureau in a serious tone: "Everyone in the Exploration Bureau, it seems that we still underestimate this underground mausoleum city. The current situation is very bad!"
"We originally thought that we would be able to find what we were looking for soon after entering the main tomb. But judging from the current situation, it may be difficult."
"You have all seen that there is almost nothing here except the two of us."
"This underground mausoleum city is empty." At this moment, the people from the Exploration Bureau also became depressed when they saw Zhang Tianlai's changed expression.
"No way? Is the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum empty?"
"No way, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is empty? This is the biggest joke of this century."
"Is it possible that you made a mistake and this is not actually an underground tomb? Or is it a fake tomb?"
After hearing people's inquiries, Zhang Tianlai also began to think deeply.
But soon, he was sure that he had found the right tomb.
So, Zhang Tianlai shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. We walked all the way and based on the route, we guessed that we didn't go the wrong way."
"That means that this underground mausoleum can only be the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum."
"But now the facts are in front of us. The tomb is indeed empty. But I always have a strange feeling in my heart. It seems that there is something we haven't discovered yet, and something is missing."
"So, I guess there should be something else in this tomb that we haven't discovered. I think as long as we find that doubt, all the current problems may be solved."
After hearing what Zhang Tianlai said, the people in the Exploration Bureau were at their wits' end.
Standing here, Zhuge Shou could also feel the strange atmosphere of this empty tomb.
So, Zhuge Shou carefully lowered his voice and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Is there really something weird here?"
To be honest, he didn't believe it when asked.
But there is no way, who made Zhang Tianlai's sixth sense so accurate?
So we have to be more vigilant.
Zhang Tianlai knew this very well in his heart, and he really felt this way.
Because a compass is never wrong.
Since the compass can point here when outside, it means that this must be the main tomb.
Even if there are no burial objects, there should at least be a coffin.
But now that the underground mausoleum is empty, it is a bit unreasonable.
It would be too shocking to say that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is an empty tomb and a scam that has deceived the Chinese people for thousands of years.
Therefore, Zhang Tianlai firmly believes that there must be some secret here, but he has not revealed it yet.
It's just that what makes him strange is that even if there are no funeral objects here, why can't even the coffin be seen?
and many more?
coffin!
Just as he was thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai was suddenly startled, looking through Zhuge Shou's shoulder to the square stone platform at the end of the tomb.
He had thought before that the square stone platform was the only coordinate in the tomb.
If there is any hidden mechanism in this tomb, could it be in the stone platform?
Something is wrong!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai realized that there must be something weird about that square stone platform anyway.
It's just that my attention was attracted by such a huge tomb pattern before, and I didn't notice the weirdness of the stone platform.
Calm down now, his focus refocused.
So, he turned to Zhuge Shou and said seriously: "Look over there, I seem to have found a doubt."
"Previously, our attention was focused on the entire tomb, but we missed one thing."
"You see, our attention was not on that square stone platform from the beginning. Now that we calm down and think about it, there may be something suspicious there."
At this moment, Zhuge Shou calmed down a little.
Hearing what Zhang Tianlai said, he turned to look at the stone platform behind him.
Don't say it, it's true.
too weird.
There is nothing in the underground mausoleum except this stone platform.
At this time, he was awakened by Zhang Tianlai's words. Zhuge Shou looked at the square stone platform, swallowed his saliva and said, "You mean there is a coffin under the stone platform?"
"It's possible, but it's not certain yet." Zhang Tianlai nodded, acquiescing to this speculation.
Then he took out the compass from his pocket and continued: "I thought it was strange before. I used the compass to measure it outside. The pointer is indeed pointing here, which means this is the underground mausoleum city."
"That's why I find it strange that even if there are no funeral objects here, logically there should be a coffin."
"But we haven't seen it so far, so the only explanation is that the coffin was hidden."
While thinking about it, Zhang Tianlai and the two looked at each other.
So they carefully checked their feet and walked toward the stone platform full of doubts.
When he arrived, he shone his flashlight again, and this time he no longer glanced at them, but carefully observed the weird things on the stone platform.
I saw that this square stone platform was a perfect circle, with an area of about seven or eight meters in diameter.
However, there are no patterns or carvings on this ashlar table.
It is a flat and clean rock surface, and the surrounding circles are also polished very smoothly.
In addition, the height of this stone platform above the ground is about thirty centimeters, and it cannot be seen further down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai carefully took out the dagger.
Then he came to the edge of the stone platform and inserted the dagger all the way down along the lower corner of the stone platform.
crunch~
Crunch!
With the sound of rock being cut, the dagger gradually sank into the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai found something suspicious.
The rocky ground is very solid, and it is impossible to pierce the ground with the sharpness of a dagger without hitting hard.
But now that the dagger is inserted, it shows that the rocky ground below is not what it seems on the surface.
In other words, there are gaps between the rocks on the ground and the stone platform.
Otherwise, the stone platform is not only thirty centimeters thick as it appears on the surface.
Instead, there is a larger part that extends below the ground.
It’s just that you can’t see it right now.
Weird!
Sensing this suspicion, Zhang Tianlai frowned immediately.
Since the thickness of the stone platform is abnormal, it means that there is a real possibility that there is a coffin hidden inside, or that the coffin is hidden under the stone platform.
So, he carefully handed the flashlight to Zhuge Shou and motioned for him to illuminate the dagger inserted into the ground.
At the same time, he looked at the gap in the rock where the dagger was inserted, and analyzed: "It seems that this stone platform is just as I expected, there is something strange underneath. Look, the dagger is now at least ten centimeters into the rock ground." "
"I've looked carefully before. The rocks here are all granite and are very hard, but something is wrong."
"Granite is almost impossible to cut vertically, even with the sharpness of a dagger, without hitting it hard."
"But now the dagger penetrated easily, and I didn't hit it with stones. This undoubtedly means that there is a gap between the rocks on the ground and the stone platform, so the blade can be inserted."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianlai pointed to the gap below and continued: "In other words, there are currently two possibilities. Either the thickness of the stone platform is not as thick as what we see."
"It's more of it, buried in the rocky ground beneath our feet."
"Another possibility is that the stone platform is just a layer of stone slabs covering the ground. After it is moved, it is likely that there will be a cellar underneath, with underground coffins hidden underneath."
For a moment, after hearing his words, Zhuge Shou's eyes were filled with shock.
However, the Zhang family obviously knew the layout of the tombs better than the Zhuge family.
So Zhuge Shou immediately chose to believe him.
At the same time, the people in the Exploration Bureau were also staring at the dagger stuck on the ground.
After listening to Zhang Tianlai's explanation, everyone understood what secret was hidden in it.
"It turned out to be so, no wonder."
"I get excited just thinking about Qin Shihuang's coffin. I just want to ask, has anyone seen it?"
For a moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau began to urge, but the weight of the stone platform
Zhuge Shou couldn't help but ask: "This stone platform weighs at least several thousand kilograms. How are you going to move it?"
Certainly not possible with explosives.
Otherwise, the important things in the coffin will definitely be directly destroyed.
Zhang Tianlai thought about this seriously for a few seconds, then shook his head and said: "Indeed, this is a problem. This stone platform can only be exploded with at least a grenade."
"But we don't have to move it. In fact, we can also use a dagger to cut through the surrounding rocks bit by bit and dig a tunnel to go down."
"But this is a waste of time, and to be on the safe side, I think we should try it first to see what kind of condition this stone platform is in."
Zhang Tianlai has no intention of actually digging up this square stone platform.
Besides, if there is no cellar under the stone platform, all their efforts will be useless.
So he didn't rush to take action, but first took out the dagger with great effort.
Then he squatted down and used the light of the flashlight to carefully examine the gap just cut by the sword blade.
Under the flashlight, he could vaguely see signs of reflection on the sides of the rocks below.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianlai knew that there was indeed no cellar under the rock.
In other words, another part of the stone platform is embedded in the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianlai swallowed and said, "It seems like what I just said, there is no cellar under this stone platform, but the lower part of the stone platform is embedded in the ground."
"However, if this is the case, it means that the abnormality should be the stone platform itself."
"In other words, this stone platform is just a storage vessel, with the universe inside."
After hearing his explanation, everyone in the Exploration Bureau subconsciously frowned.
At the same time, Zhuge Shou glanced at the huge stone platform and couldn't help but ask: "Then if this stone platform really contains the universe as you said, how can you open it?"
"It doesn't look like there is a mechanism or cover on this stone platform."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianlai stared at the stone platform, shook his head, and said seriously: "Not necessarily. Although the chemistry and physics in the Qin Dynasty were far from what they are now. However, when it comes to the craftsmanship skills of the craftsmen at that time, there may be many things we don't know about. knew."
"And since the construction of the First Emperor's Mausoleum was able to hollow out Lishan Mountain, this is enough to show the extent to which the mechanics of the time were deduced."
"So I guess there must be a mechanism on this stone platform, but it can't be seen with the naked eye. As long as you search patiently, you should be able to find it."
Having said this, Zhang Tianlai no longer hesitated and took the flashlight from Zhuge Shou's hand.
Then he began to carefully observe the situation around the stone platform.
After confirming that there was no mechanism, Zhang Tianlai suddenly stepped forward lightly.
He is still not sure what is on the stone platform, so his movements are very light.
Zhang Tianlai almost squatted on the stone surface with his toes, holding the flashlight between his teeth.
Then press it on the rock surface with both hands and rub it carefully to feel the subtle changes on it.
The stone surface is very smooth, but Zhang Tianlai's sense of touch can be said to be very sharp, having been trained in martial arts since childhood.
In addition, he checks very slowly, so he can definitely detect any changes on the stone platform.
really!
When he touched the center of the stone platform, Zhang Tianlai suddenly felt something touched on his fingers.
So he quickly stopped and leaned down to shine a flashlight on the spot pointed by his finger.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became very tense, and Zhuge Shou subconsciously held his breath for fear of disturbing him.
As the flashlight continued to shine, Zhang Tianlai finally saw an indentation as fine as a hair at the location where his fingers touched.
The dent looks almost impossible to find with the naked eye.
If it wasn't for his hand feel, he wouldn't be able to notice it.
Upon noticing the situation in front of him, Zhang Tianlai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he quickly used the light of his flashlight to look forward along this thin line.
This time Zhang Tianlai saw again that as he walked all the way up the thin line, the thin line actually ran through the entire stone platform.
When it reaches the edge, it forms a right-angled chord and turns right.
By analogy, the entire thin line directly runs through the entire stone platform, cutting the stone platform from the center, forming an internal rectangle.
It looks like a cover for something
Cover?
Suddenly thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai hurriedly lowered his head to take a look. Sure enough, the more he looked, the more they looked like each other.
If that's the case, the inside of this stone platform may be hollow, so what's inside?
For a moment, a crazy idea appeared in Zhang Tianlai's mind.
And it took over his mind out of control.
Don't ask!
The most likely possibility is that the coffin in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is actually this square stone platform.
Having guessed this suspicion, Zhang Tianlai had a certain idea in his mind.
At this time, Zhuge Shou saw his strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? What did you find?"
Zhang Tianlai glanced back at him subconsciously. Instead of explaining in a hurry, he waved for him to come up.
After he came over, Zhang Tianlai pointed to the gap where his right hand was pressing.
Then he took a deep breath and explained: "Look at this thin line, I really expected it right."
"The inside of this stone platform may be hollowed out, and no matter how advanced the ancient people's mechanical craftsmanship was, it would be impossible to implant objects into the stone platform out of thin air."
"And by chance, I discovered this line."
"If you look carefully, this thin line runs directly through the stone platform from left to right, forming a rectangular cube with a width of one meter and a height of about two meters."
"There is no doubt that this cuboid is actually separated from the entire stone platform. However, the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty were very skilled and were able to hide it from others."
"In addition, the light in this tomb is dim, so none of us noticed it before."
When talking about this piece of heaven, he paused, twisted the slender grooves with his hand, and then said: "This thin line is almost as slender as a hair. If I hadn't felt it with my hands, I would have missed it."
"The most important thing is, do you think this cuboid looks like anything?"
"In this case, whatever is hidden in this stone platform will probably be revealed soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Shou's pupils shrank instantly.
Because even if he is not a professional tomb robber, he will understand after hearing this.
What else could be in this?
At the same time, when people in the Exploration Bureau heard his explanation, no one could bear it.
"I understand, the stone platform is the coffin!"
"What else can I say, Zulong's body is in the stone platform."
Regarding this, Zhuge Shou and the others were extremely excited.
Not to mention the people of the Zhuge family, they want to relieve the suffering of five disadvantages and three deficiencies.
Let’s just talk about the Zhang family.
Going into the tomb again and again, how many people have died?
Now they have become eternal enemies with the tombkeeper.
So how can they stop?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai frowned and said: "Speaking of which, this stone platform may be the coffin. But I am not sure whether the First Emperor's body is inside. The specific situation will not be known until the coffin is opened."
While talking, Zhang Tianlai carefully inserted the dagger along the gap on his finger.
At the same time, he looked around the stone platform, then turned around and said: "I have white wax in my backpack. You can light it at the southeast corner of the stone platform."
"As for where the southeast corner is, since Qin Shihuang is the Ninth Five-Year King, the inner and outer coffins must face south and back north."
"The big end of the stone slab under my feet is aimed straight ahead, so the front is the south side, and the right side is the east."
After listening to Zhang Tianlai's words, Zhuge Shou quickly took out the candle from his backpack.
Then in the right front corner of the stone platform, white wax was lit.
As the candles were lit, Zhang Tianlai took a deep breath and said, "Okay, now we have everything ready to officially open the coffin."
After saying this, Zhang Tianlai held the dagger with both hands and pushed it forward along the gap.
Pushing the blade slowly to cut through the gap, some white powder was pushed out of the gap.
Zhang Tianlai took the time to twist some with his hands, put it between his nose and took a deep breath.
Suddenly a unique smell penetrated into my heart, and it smelled sour.
Smelling the smell, Zhang Tianlai continued his hand movements while frowning: "It seems I guessed it right, these white powders are beeswax."
"This is undoubtedly the embalming method used by Zulong before he was buried. This is to evacuate the air in the coffin before burial, and then seal the gaps with beeswax."
"This can completely isolate the air pollution and ensure that the corpses in the coffin will not rot for thousands of years."
While talking, Zhang Tianlai had opened the lid.
Then he inserted an ordnance shovel into it as a lever and pried it up hard.
With a crunching sound, the rock coffin lid was pried up.
At the same time, Zhang Tianlai made a strong effort and the lid flipped over.
Boom!
As the coffin lid hit the ground, a strong sour smell suddenly spewed out from the coffin.
Zhang Tianlai and the two immediately became alert and hurriedly avoided the wind, turning sideways to avoid it.
(End of this chapter)
what's the situation?
Sensing the shaking of the mountain, Zhang Tianlai suddenly became vigilant.
He took a step forward cautiously, and then shone the flashlight forward, trying to find out the source of the sound.
At this time, Zhuge Shou pulled the corner of his clothes.
Zhang Tianlai immediately followed his fingers and discovered that the vibrating sound came from the cliff in the distance.
And when he saw clearly what happened on the cliff, Zhang Tianlai's pupils shrank instantly.
rumbling~
At this moment, the amplitude of the vibrations was getting bigger and bigger, and the sound was like hundreds of war drums beating on the flat ground.
Along with the shaking sound, Zhang Tianlai could clearly see that the towering cliff in the distance was shaking greatly.
It looked as if it covered an area of dozens of meters and was about to collapse.
Boom!
At this moment, a huge crack suddenly opened on the cliff.
As the gravel rumbled to the ground, spider web-like cracks continued to spread from the cliff.
Then with a thunderous sound, the entire cliff cracked into a circular area covering an area of more than 40 meters.
Then it started to tilt down from the top and took a photo in the direction of the mountain pass where Zhang Tianlai and the others were.
For a moment, Zhang Tianlai felt that his scalp was going to explode.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Zhuge Shou and rushed towards the mountain pass.
"Run!"
The next moment, before anyone in the exploration bureau could react, the cliff covering the interior of the valley had crashed to the ground.
Those rocks weighed countless tons, and the large area of rocks hitting the ground caused the entire valley to shake.
Immediately after the gravel was flying, a powerful air wave mixed with gravel and smoke rushed directly into the mountain pass.
Zhang Tianlai and the two had just rushed out when they felt a strong force coming from behind.
Their bodies involuntarily flew forward two meters before falling to the ground.
At this moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau had witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes.
For a moment, everyone watching felt cold all over.
After waiting for more than ten seconds and regaining consciousness, the people in the Exploration Bureau exclaimed.
"This is too cruel! This is to bury people alive inside."
"Nonsense, how can we call it the Mausoleum of the First Emperor if we are not ruthless? This is the largest tomb in the world!"
"I'm going to be scared to death, are they okay, they scared me to death just now."
The people who reacted at this moment no longer cared to see what happened on the cliff.
They immediately searched for Zhang Tianlai and the others.
It was at this moment that a faint voice suddenly sounded from under the dust within ten meters of the mountain road.
Immediately afterwards, the gravels pressing on the soil gradually bulged up, and Zhang Tianlai and his two embarrassed figures climbed up from under the gravels.
The air wave just now was too strong, and the two of them were pushed away as soon as they jumped out.
But it was a blessing in disguise, neither of them were hit by the rock head-on.
It's just that the gravel that was shot in all directions hurts a little bit.
So Zhang Tianlai and the two first dusted off the dirt on their bodies, and then each checked their injuries.
After confirming that there were no serious wounds, he let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, not only the people in the Exploration Bureau were shocked, but Zhang Tianlai and the others could also intuitively feel the shock of the cliff collapse just now.
So Zhang Tianlai and Zhuge Shou struggled to help Shandao stand up.
Zhuge Shou swallowed and couldn't help but said, "The situation just now was too dangerous. I had expected that a stone gate might appear here."
"However, I never thought that the entire mountain range would collapse."
"Now it seems that we have underestimated the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. If we had been under the cliff just now, we might have been smashed into pulp."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianlai also nodded.
This is the entrance to the underground city of the First Emperor's Mausoleum. Were they excited because they were about to enter the deepest part?
Now it seems?
What's there to be excited about?
The more you get here, the more vigilant you should be.
Moreover, the underground mausoleum of the First Emperor's Mausoleum may be even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die without a complete body!
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "From now on, I think we must always be vigilant."
"You have to know that this is the deepest part of the First Emperor's Mausoleum. No matter how bold our estimate is, it is not an exaggeration."
"Moreover, the underground mausoleum may be more dangerous than the outside."
Speaking of this day, I took a few deep breaths to expel the discomfort in my lungs.
Then they walked out carefully, carefully avoiding the rocks under their feet.
At the same time, Zhang Tianlai noticed something was wrong with the gravel around him, so he gradually frowned.
He found that the further he walked, the larger the rocks were under his feet.
This proves that the situation of mountain fragmentation is not optimistic.
So Zhang Tianlai suppressed the shock in his heart and made full preparations.
When they arrived outside the mountain pass, the two used the light of a flashlight to look at the cliff in the distance.
But when they saw the situation on the other side clearly, even though they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but gasp in horror.
hiss!
Looking around, I could see that the cliffs in the distance, which were originally so high that they could not see the sky, had completely collapsed at some point.
As far as the eye can see, the cliff is full of intertwined cracks, and directly opposite the mountain pass, a huge cave with a height of more than ten meters and a width of seven or eight meters has been cracked on the cliff.
Stones with a diameter of several meters are scattered under the cave, which proves that these rocks were all cracked from the mountain.
Zhang Tianlai and the two never expected that the entrance to the so-called underground mausoleum city would be so spectacular.
After seeing this situation, both of their pupils were trembling.
After being stunned for five seconds, Zhang Tianlai asked cautiously: "Is this the entrance to the underground mausoleum city?"
Zhuge Shou also nodded in shock, then swallowed with fear and said: "To be honest, I have been mentally prepared, but I never expected that the entrance to the underground mausoleum city would be like this."
Meanwhile, it's not just them.
At this moment, everyone in the Exploration Bureau also saw the situation on the opposite mountain.
"This is earth-shattering!"
"Did Lishan Mountain collapse? They really escaped death this time!"
"To be honest, I was really scared. But this should be the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
"This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the largest tomb in the world!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter the tomb! This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
Seeing that the entrance to the tomb had been opened, everyone in the Exploration Bureau was shocked.
After the shock, what followed was the temptation to enter the main tomb.
But at this time, Zhang Tianlai did not open his eyebrows.
While he was excited, he was more worried about the danger in the underground mausoleum city.
So the two of them cautiously approached the direction of the cave. At the same time, Zhang Tianlai reminded Zhuge Shou anxiously: "We can't be impatient. Judging from the danger level at this entrance, it won't be very safe inside."
"More importantly, I don't know if you noticed that the mechanism lock we cracked just now is mixed with the knowledge of mechanism number and Feng Shui Qimen."
"And it takes learning to an extremely high level to create this kind of mechanism that connects to the cliff."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianlai glanced at the surrounding rock walls with lingering fear, and then said: "So I dare to conclude that among the people who helped the First Emperor Ying Zheng build the main tomb of Lishan, there must be no less Feng Shui than Zhuge Liang. Warlocks, and agency masters who are comparable to public losers.”
"And no one can be sure whether the tomb keeper has entered the underground mausoleum city."
"So from now on, we need to be extra cautious every step we take."
While talking, Zhang Tianlai used his flashlight to shine a light on the pattern around the cave entrance.
After confirming that there was no danger around, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go in."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianlai used a flashlight to illuminate the path ahead and carefully stepped into the cave entrance.
It wasn't until they saw Zhang Tianlai and the two walking in with their own eyes that the people from the Exploration Bureau recovered from their shock.
After a moment of excitement, everyone held their breath subconsciously, for fear of disturbing their minds.
At the same time, Zhang Tianlai and the others also carefully observed every change in their surroundings.
The structure at the entrance to the underground mausoleum city was somewhat beyond Zhang Tianlai's expectations.
Originally, he thought that because the underground mausoleum city was built inside the mountain, the size inside would be somewhat limited.
But the strange thing is that as they continue to move forward, the field of vision in front of them becomes wider and wider.
Although the surrounding situation is still unclear, judging from the openness of the field of vision, it is even wider than the valley outside.
This situation was not expected by Zhang Tianlai and the two of them, and since the current flashlight light could not illuminate the overall pattern, they did not dare to act rashly.
"The layout of the main tomb seems to be completely opposite to what we expected."
"The space here is bigger than the valley outside, so in the current situation where we can't see the surroundings clearly, we'd better stay where we are."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianlai stopped and waited patiently on the spot.
As time gradually passed, the two people's vision gradually adapted to the darkness around them.
So Zhang Tianlai began to look at the surrounding pattern with the help of a flashlight.
But it didn't matter if he looked at it, his eyes froze for an instant.
He saw that the layout of this underground mausoleum city was much broader than he imagined.
Looking with the light of the flashlight, as far as the eye can see, there is endless darkness.
Zhang Tianlai turned the flashlight as bright as possible, and then he could see some bright cliffs in the darkness.
A strong light flashlight can illuminate more than 50 meters at most, but the limit of light is hundreds of meters away.
With a little help, Zhang Tianlai instantly realized that the layout of this underground mausoleum was at least 500 meters away.
And more importantly, this is just the radius and not the diameter.
Calculated in this way, this underground mausoleum is at least the size of two football fields.
This was much larger than any tomb he had seen before.
hiss!
For a moment, Zhang Tianlai felt his heart twitching, and the sound of gasping for air suddenly sounded.
Then he looked up at the top of the tomb, and his heart was instantly grasped.
Because the pattern above was very high, Zhang Tianlai couldn't see any reflection even if he shined a flashlight on it.
Everything as far as the eye could see was pitch black.
But in the center of the tomb, there was a vague bulge of unclear size, which seemed to be a stone platform.
Gollum!
Suddenly, Zhang Tianlai couldn't help but swallowed.
This is not the layout of an underground mausoleum city. The vastness here alone is much larger than the overall size of some other ancient tombs.
Therefore, although Zhang Tianlai has not seen any funerary objects or buildings that can represent the underground mausoleum city.
But he was completely sure that this was the underground mausoleum city of Shi Huang's Mausoleum.
Only with such a huge layout can it be worthy of being the world's number one tomb.
Should it be said that it really deserves to be the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
At the same time, Zhuge Shou's face turned red and he said, "Is this the tomb of the First Emperor's mausoleum?"
"Are you sure we're going the right way?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhang Tianlai nodded seriously, he was very convinced.
So, he said with a serious face: "I have no doubt now that this is the deepest part of the Tomb of the First Emperor that we are looking for."
"Although I can't see what's around right now, I can already prove it with such a large space."
For a moment, after hearing his words, Zhuge Shou also looked extremely shocked.
At the same time, because the people in the Exploration Bureau have night vision capabilities, they can see more clearly than Zhang Tian.
This is also the first time.
These people entered the tomb through many hardships, but every time they came back defeated.
But it was not until this time that the people from the Exploration Bureau finally followed Zhang Tianlai and saw with their own eyes the internal structure of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
If nothing else, the huge space alone is enough to drive people crazy.
"This time we really entered the deepest part of the Tomb of the First Emperor!"
"I can't believe that they really came in! This is called a tomb. The number one tomb in the world is still the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
"This is called a tomb! Only with the night vision function can I vaguely see the outline of some cliffs!"
"Since this is an underground mausoleum city, hurry up and find the coffin!"
"Wait, do you think something is wrong? Why does this place look so empty?"
Compared to the joy of everyone in the Exploration Bureau, Zhang Tianlai and the others were very cautious.
Zhang Tianlai took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.
Now is not the time to be happy.
Because to be honest, before entering the main tomb, he had imagined that it might be very huge.
But the fact was beyond their expectations. Ying Zheng was so grand that he hollowed out the entire Lishan Mountain.
This is a whole mountain!
So Zhang Tianlai continued to walk forward, staring at his surroundings.
But the strange thing is that this underground mausoleum is too desolate.
There seemed to be nothing around except for the stone platform that looked down upon from a distance.
The only characteristic is that it is ridiculously big.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai felt a little weird.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you feel a little strange, why is there nothing in the deepest part of the Tomb of the First Emperor?"
"Anyway, there should be some funerary objects, or the coffin from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."
Hearing his inquiry, Zhuge Shou frowned, looked at the darkness around him and said: "Don't worry about the coffin, it's not the time yet. The problem now is that the layout of this tomb is too huge, and we are not sure yet. There’s everything here.”
"If we act rashly and trigger an unknown mechanism, we may not even have a chance to escape."
"So, before we start looking for funerary objects and coffins, we'd better take a look at the exact layout of this tomb."
"This will also help us in our next actions."
Hearing his words, Zhang Tianlai also nodded.
So, the two looked at each other.
Start looking up.
The current situation is that they must split up and figure out the layout of the entire tomb as soon as possible.
And you have to be careful of the mechanisms under your feet and don't get close to the cliff to avoid accidents.
While thinking about it, Zhang Tianlai turned around, shined a flashlight on his feet, and walked slowly toward the cliff on the right.
Zhuge Shou also used a flashlight to illuminate the front and headed towards the cliff on the left.
Then the two of them split up and began to observe the layout of the tomb along the cliff.
The underground mausoleum at the foot of Lishan Mountain is too huge, and it would probably take a lot of time to go through it completely.
Moreover, in this dark light, there is no telling what will happen if you get close to the cliff.
Therefore, neither Zhang Tianlai nor Zhang Tianlai got too close to the rock on the cliff. Instead, they walked to the outside more than 20 meters away and shined their flashlights on it.
At the same time, while observing the cliff and other locations, slowly follow the circular tombs toward the center.
But as they continued to check, Zhang Tianlai's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Because the further he walked, he suddenly found that the surrounding cliffs and the underside of the tombs became more and more empty.
After looking around, he found that the entire underground mausoleum city was empty.
Except for the surrounding cliffs and the towering top of the tomb, there are only huge rock blocks protruding from the cliffs nearly every 100 meters.
There are eight rock blocks in total, about three to four meters high, and they look like hills inside the tomb.
But other than that, there is nothing in the entire tomb.
Not to mention the burial objects, not even the coffin was seen.
Seeing this Tianlai's mind gradually sank.
After they reunited at the foot of the cliff, Zhang Tianlai hurriedly asked: "Did you find anything?"
Regarding this, Zhuge Shou also shook his head with an ugly expression. Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai knew that he obviously didn't find anything.
So, he couldn't help but said to the people in the Exploration Bureau in a serious tone: "Everyone in the Exploration Bureau, it seems that we still underestimate this underground mausoleum city. The current situation is very bad!"
"We originally thought that we would be able to find what we were looking for soon after entering the main tomb. But judging from the current situation, it may be difficult."
"You have all seen that there is almost nothing here except the two of us."
"This underground mausoleum city is empty." At this moment, the people from the Exploration Bureau also became depressed when they saw Zhang Tianlai's changed expression.
"No way? Is the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum empty?"
"No way, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is empty? This is the biggest joke of this century."
"Is it possible that you made a mistake and this is not actually an underground tomb? Or is it a fake tomb?"
After hearing people's inquiries, Zhang Tianlai also began to think deeply.
But soon, he was sure that he had found the right tomb.
So, Zhang Tianlai shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. We walked all the way and based on the route, we guessed that we didn't go the wrong way."
"That means that this underground mausoleum can only be the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum."
"But now the facts are in front of us. The tomb is indeed empty. But I always have a strange feeling in my heart. It seems that there is something we haven't discovered yet, and something is missing."
"So, I guess there should be something else in this tomb that we haven't discovered. I think as long as we find that doubt, all the current problems may be solved."
After hearing what Zhang Tianlai said, the people in the Exploration Bureau were at their wits' end.
Standing here, Zhuge Shou could also feel the strange atmosphere of this empty tomb.
So, Zhuge Shou carefully lowered his voice and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Is there really something weird here?"
To be honest, he didn't believe it when asked.
But there is no way, who made Zhang Tianlai's sixth sense so accurate?
So we have to be more vigilant.
Zhang Tianlai knew this very well in his heart, and he really felt this way.
Because a compass is never wrong.
Since the compass can point here when outside, it means that this must be the main tomb.
Even if there are no burial objects, there should at least be a coffin.
But now that the underground mausoleum is empty, it is a bit unreasonable.
It would be too shocking to say that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is an empty tomb and a scam that has deceived the Chinese people for thousands of years.
Therefore, Zhang Tianlai firmly believes that there must be some secret here, but he has not revealed it yet.
It's just that what makes him strange is that even if there are no funeral objects here, why can't even the coffin be seen?
and many more?
coffin!
Just as he was thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai was suddenly startled, looking through Zhuge Shou's shoulder to the square stone platform at the end of the tomb.
He had thought before that the square stone platform was the only coordinate in the tomb.
If there is any hidden mechanism in this tomb, could it be in the stone platform?
Something is wrong!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai realized that there must be something weird about that square stone platform anyway.
It's just that my attention was attracted by such a huge tomb pattern before, and I didn't notice the weirdness of the stone platform.
Calm down now, his focus refocused.
So, he turned to Zhuge Shou and said seriously: "Look over there, I seem to have found a doubt."
"Previously, our attention was focused on the entire tomb, but we missed one thing."
"You see, our attention was not on that square stone platform from the beginning. Now that we calm down and think about it, there may be something suspicious there."
At this moment, Zhuge Shou calmed down a little.
Hearing what Zhang Tianlai said, he turned to look at the stone platform behind him.
Don't say it, it's true.
too weird.
There is nothing in the underground mausoleum except this stone platform.
At this time, he was awakened by Zhang Tianlai's words. Zhuge Shou looked at the square stone platform, swallowed his saliva and said, "You mean there is a coffin under the stone platform?"
"It's possible, but it's not certain yet." Zhang Tianlai nodded, acquiescing to this speculation.
Then he took out the compass from his pocket and continued: "I thought it was strange before. I used the compass to measure it outside. The pointer is indeed pointing here, which means this is the underground mausoleum city."
"That's why I find it strange that even if there are no funeral objects here, logically there should be a coffin."
"But we haven't seen it so far, so the only explanation is that the coffin was hidden."
While thinking about it, Zhang Tianlai and the two looked at each other.
So they carefully checked their feet and walked toward the stone platform full of doubts.
When he arrived, he shone his flashlight again, and this time he no longer glanced at them, but carefully observed the weird things on the stone platform.
I saw that this square stone platform was a perfect circle, with an area of about seven or eight meters in diameter.
However, there are no patterns or carvings on this ashlar table.
It is a flat and clean rock surface, and the surrounding circles are also polished very smoothly.
In addition, the height of this stone platform above the ground is about thirty centimeters, and it cannot be seen further down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai carefully took out the dagger.
Then he came to the edge of the stone platform and inserted the dagger all the way down along the lower corner of the stone platform.
crunch~
Crunch!
With the sound of rock being cut, the dagger gradually sank into the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianlai found something suspicious.
The rocky ground is very solid, and it is impossible to pierce the ground with the sharpness of a dagger without hitting hard.
But now that the dagger is inserted, it shows that the rocky ground below is not what it seems on the surface.
In other words, there are gaps between the rocks on the ground and the stone platform.
Otherwise, the stone platform is not only thirty centimeters thick as it appears on the surface.
Instead, there is a larger part that extends below the ground.
It’s just that you can’t see it right now.
Weird!
Sensing this suspicion, Zhang Tianlai frowned immediately.
Since the thickness of the stone platform is abnormal, it means that there is a real possibility that there is a coffin hidden inside, or that the coffin is hidden under the stone platform.
So, he carefully handed the flashlight to Zhuge Shou and motioned for him to illuminate the dagger inserted into the ground.
At the same time, he looked at the gap in the rock where the dagger was inserted, and analyzed: "It seems that this stone platform is just as I expected, there is something strange underneath. Look, the dagger is now at least ten centimeters into the rock ground." "
"I've looked carefully before. The rocks here are all granite and are very hard, but something is wrong."
"Granite is almost impossible to cut vertically, even with the sharpness of a dagger, without hitting it hard."
"But now the dagger penetrated easily, and I didn't hit it with stones. This undoubtedly means that there is a gap between the rocks on the ground and the stone platform, so the blade can be inserted."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianlai pointed to the gap below and continued: "In other words, there are currently two possibilities. Either the thickness of the stone platform is not as thick as what we see."
"It's more of it, buried in the rocky ground beneath our feet."
"Another possibility is that the stone platform is just a layer of stone slabs covering the ground. After it is moved, it is likely that there will be a cellar underneath, with underground coffins hidden underneath."
For a moment, after hearing his words, Zhuge Shou's eyes were filled with shock.
However, the Zhang family obviously knew the layout of the tombs better than the Zhuge family.
So Zhuge Shou immediately chose to believe him.
At the same time, the people in the Exploration Bureau were also staring at the dagger stuck on the ground.
After listening to Zhang Tianlai's explanation, everyone understood what secret was hidden in it.
"It turned out to be so, no wonder."
"I get excited just thinking about Qin Shihuang's coffin. I just want to ask, has anyone seen it?"
For a moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau began to urge, but the weight of the stone platform
Zhuge Shou couldn't help but ask: "This stone platform weighs at least several thousand kilograms. How are you going to move it?"
Certainly not possible with explosives.
Otherwise, the important things in the coffin will definitely be directly destroyed.
Zhang Tianlai thought about this seriously for a few seconds, then shook his head and said: "Indeed, this is a problem. This stone platform can only be exploded with at least a grenade."
"But we don't have to move it. In fact, we can also use a dagger to cut through the surrounding rocks bit by bit and dig a tunnel to go down."
"But this is a waste of time, and to be on the safe side, I think we should try it first to see what kind of condition this stone platform is in."
Zhang Tianlai has no intention of actually digging up this square stone platform.
Besides, if there is no cellar under the stone platform, all their efforts will be useless.
So he didn't rush to take action, but first took out the dagger with great effort.
Then he squatted down and used the light of the flashlight to carefully examine the gap just cut by the sword blade.
Under the flashlight, he could vaguely see signs of reflection on the sides of the rocks below.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianlai knew that there was indeed no cellar under the rock.
In other words, another part of the stone platform is embedded in the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianlai swallowed and said, "It seems like what I just said, there is no cellar under this stone platform, but the lower part of the stone platform is embedded in the ground."
"However, if this is the case, it means that the abnormality should be the stone platform itself."
"In other words, this stone platform is just a storage vessel, with the universe inside."
After hearing his explanation, everyone in the Exploration Bureau subconsciously frowned.
At the same time, Zhuge Shou glanced at the huge stone platform and couldn't help but ask: "Then if this stone platform really contains the universe as you said, how can you open it?"
"It doesn't look like there is a mechanism or cover on this stone platform."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianlai stared at the stone platform, shook his head, and said seriously: "Not necessarily. Although the chemistry and physics in the Qin Dynasty were far from what they are now. However, when it comes to the craftsmanship skills of the craftsmen at that time, there may be many things we don't know about. knew."
"And since the construction of the First Emperor's Mausoleum was able to hollow out Lishan Mountain, this is enough to show the extent to which the mechanics of the time were deduced."
"So I guess there must be a mechanism on this stone platform, but it can't be seen with the naked eye. As long as you search patiently, you should be able to find it."
Having said this, Zhang Tianlai no longer hesitated and took the flashlight from Zhuge Shou's hand.
Then he began to carefully observe the situation around the stone platform.
After confirming that there was no mechanism, Zhang Tianlai suddenly stepped forward lightly.
He is still not sure what is on the stone platform, so his movements are very light.
Zhang Tianlai almost squatted on the stone surface with his toes, holding the flashlight between his teeth.
Then press it on the rock surface with both hands and rub it carefully to feel the subtle changes on it.
The stone surface is very smooth, but Zhang Tianlai's sense of touch can be said to be very sharp, having been trained in martial arts since childhood.
In addition, he checks very slowly, so he can definitely detect any changes on the stone platform.
really!
When he touched the center of the stone platform, Zhang Tianlai suddenly felt something touched on his fingers.
So he quickly stopped and leaned down to shine a flashlight on the spot pointed by his finger.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became very tense, and Zhuge Shou subconsciously held his breath for fear of disturbing him.
As the flashlight continued to shine, Zhang Tianlai finally saw an indentation as fine as a hair at the location where his fingers touched.
The dent looks almost impossible to find with the naked eye.
If it wasn't for his hand feel, he wouldn't be able to notice it.
Upon noticing the situation in front of him, Zhang Tianlai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he quickly used the light of his flashlight to look forward along this thin line.
This time Zhang Tianlai saw again that as he walked all the way up the thin line, the thin line actually ran through the entire stone platform.
When it reaches the edge, it forms a right-angled chord and turns right.
By analogy, the entire thin line directly runs through the entire stone platform, cutting the stone platform from the center, forming an internal rectangle.
It looks like a cover for something
Cover?
Suddenly thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai hurriedly lowered his head to take a look. Sure enough, the more he looked, the more they looked like each other.
If that's the case, the inside of this stone platform may be hollow, so what's inside?
For a moment, a crazy idea appeared in Zhang Tianlai's mind.
And it took over his mind out of control.
Don't ask!
The most likely possibility is that the coffin in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is actually this square stone platform.
Having guessed this suspicion, Zhang Tianlai had a certain idea in his mind.
At this time, Zhuge Shou saw his strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? What did you find?"
Zhang Tianlai glanced back at him subconsciously. Instead of explaining in a hurry, he waved for him to come up.
After he came over, Zhang Tianlai pointed to the gap where his right hand was pressing.
Then he took a deep breath and explained: "Look at this thin line, I really expected it right."
"The inside of this stone platform may be hollowed out, and no matter how advanced the ancient people's mechanical craftsmanship was, it would be impossible to implant objects into the stone platform out of thin air."
"And by chance, I discovered this line."
"If you look carefully, this thin line runs directly through the stone platform from left to right, forming a rectangular cube with a width of one meter and a height of about two meters."
"There is no doubt that this cuboid is actually separated from the entire stone platform. However, the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty were very skilled and were able to hide it from others."
"In addition, the light in this tomb is dim, so none of us noticed it before."
When talking about this piece of heaven, he paused, twisted the slender grooves with his hand, and then said: "This thin line is almost as slender as a hair. If I hadn't felt it with my hands, I would have missed it."
"The most important thing is, do you think this cuboid looks like anything?"
"In this case, whatever is hidden in this stone platform will probably be revealed soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Shou's pupils shrank instantly.
Because even if he is not a professional tomb robber, he will understand after hearing this.
What else could be in this?
At the same time, when people in the Exploration Bureau heard his explanation, no one could bear it.
"I understand, the stone platform is the coffin!"
"What else can I say, Zulong's body is in the stone platform."
Regarding this, Zhuge Shou and the others were extremely excited.
Not to mention the people of the Zhuge family, they want to relieve the suffering of five disadvantages and three deficiencies.
Let’s just talk about the Zhang family.
Going into the tomb again and again, how many people have died?
Now they have become eternal enemies with the tombkeeper.
So how can they stop?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianlai frowned and said: "Speaking of which, this stone platform may be the coffin. But I am not sure whether the First Emperor's body is inside. The specific situation will not be known until the coffin is opened."
While talking, Zhang Tianlai carefully inserted the dagger along the gap on his finger.
At the same time, he looked around the stone platform, then turned around and said: "I have white wax in my backpack. You can light it at the southeast corner of the stone platform."
"As for where the southeast corner is, since Qin Shihuang is the Ninth Five-Year King, the inner and outer coffins must face south and back north."
"The big end of the stone slab under my feet is aimed straight ahead, so the front is the south side, and the right side is the east."
After listening to Zhang Tianlai's words, Zhuge Shou quickly took out the candle from his backpack.
Then in the right front corner of the stone platform, white wax was lit.
As the candles were lit, Zhang Tianlai took a deep breath and said, "Okay, now we have everything ready to officially open the coffin."
After saying this, Zhang Tianlai held the dagger with both hands and pushed it forward along the gap.
Pushing the blade slowly to cut through the gap, some white powder was pushed out of the gap.
Zhang Tianlai took the time to twist some with his hands, put it between his nose and took a deep breath.
Suddenly a unique smell penetrated into my heart, and it smelled sour.
Smelling the smell, Zhang Tianlai continued his hand movements while frowning: "It seems I guessed it right, these white powders are beeswax."
"This is undoubtedly the embalming method used by Zulong before he was buried. This is to evacuate the air in the coffin before burial, and then seal the gaps with beeswax."
"This can completely isolate the air pollution and ensure that the corpses in the coffin will not rot for thousands of years."
While talking, Zhang Tianlai had opened the lid.
Then he inserted an ordnance shovel into it as a lever and pried it up hard.
With a crunching sound, the rock coffin lid was pried up.
At the same time, Zhang Tianlai made a strong effort and the lid flipped over.
Boom!
As the coffin lid hit the ground, a strong sour smell suddenly spewed out from the coffin.
Zhang Tianlai and the two immediately became alert and hurriedly avoided the wind, turning sideways to avoid it.
